It's a special thing, arriving home to 3386 Captains Flat Road after a long day at work. You enter the gates and the whole world drops away. Only a 30 minute drive from Queanbeyan, the commute is easy and the reward is great; your family's personal sanctuary.
This home is designed to host a family. It's been built by one and it's ready for yours. Five large bedrooms with built-in storage and a dedicated study make it the perfect home for multi-functional living. The design lends itself perfectly to having a parents' retreat on one end; with a private study/sitting area opposite the master bedroom, and the kids to the other end of the home. For those just starting your family, the office would make a wonderful nursery/children's bedroom for you to keep a close eye, and ear.
The kitchen is generous in size, with a large island bench and views into the garden. It's serviced by an array of storage options, a walk in pantry and large cupboard spaces will satisfy the most dedicated home cooks. There's easy access to the dining area, before retiring to the sitting room for a cozy dessert.
Having been held by one family for 30 years, you can feel really confident in the comfort factor of this property. The home has been designed to take advantage of it's thermal mass to maintain a pleasant and constant inside temperature. This ensures you are comfortable whether you're hosting a family Christmas BBQ or, snuggling up for a movie in the dead of winter. The fireplace can also be used to add an ambience to the room for those special evenings.
The automated hydronic heating of the slab is powered by energy efficient heat pumps. By only using the heat pumps during the day when electricity is being generated by the solar panels, the owners are able to keep electricity costs to a minimum. Battery storage adds to this capacity.
Moving outside, there is a two bay, 6x6m open machinery shed, 6x6m enclosed shed, wood/garden shed near the house and some small animal yards which are perfect for a few head of sheep. There's a 10 x 6m studio, with power, which could become an excellent space to work from home, a kids play room or convert into studio style accommodation. If storage is more of a priority, this space could be turned into a large multipurpose space with minimal effort.

The sustainable aspect of this property is established; with a great solar system (and battery), plentiful rainwater storage, and an established veggie garden. The patch is serviced by reticulated water and composted soil. It's well fenced, and big enough to provide for a family.
